My Annoying Reboot Ritual (and what can I do to stop it?) [solved]

Every time I reboot, I have to do 2 things. (using gnome)

1) Click on the fusion icon and reload my window manager because the window borders are always missing and I have to reload it.

2) go to the gnome-volume-control, un-mute my front speaker and turn it up all the way (under the hda alsa mixer) because it always muted when I reboot.

I also have to do a 3rd thing, but it's just the gnome-do dock not on startup but I could fix that easily if I can get my compiz problem fixed.

What can I do about this? I don't wanna do this all the time.

2. Add 'alsa' to your rc.conf DAEMONS array.

That didn't do anything, I still have to manually un-mute the sound and turn the front up all the way.

DAEMONS=(syslog-ng hal alsa gdm network netfs crond)

... as tomk says, gnome is not my thing, but do you need 'gdm' the daemons list ?

I thought I read that alsa had to be last on the daemons list...

deej: yes, it's one way of starting gdm afert bootup
xfire: oO no - my alsa is in the middle of the daemons-line and it works

1) Maybe delay the starting of fusion-icon ? Perhaps 'sleep 3 && fusion-icon' ?

2) Have you run (as root) 'alsactl store' ?

Don't know if that is neccessary anymore though...

I did "sleep 8 && fusion-icon" and it didn't start up automatically and my borders and dock was back, but I activated the fusion-icon so I could get my wobbly windows back and my window boarders disappeared again and I had to reload my window manager again.

As for the second part, it says "command not found" and I don't know what to install so it can find the command. I can't find "alsactl" in the repos, so I know that's not the name of the package. wink

alsactl is part of alsa-utils afaik, you will need them for the rc script to work too (the alsa rc-script is part of alsa-utils even)

Re: My Annoying Reboot Ritual (and what can I do to stop it?) [solved]

1) Go into GConf editor and set apps -> metacity -> general -> compositing_manager to UNCHECKED
2) Get your sound set the way you want and AS ROOT, run "alsactl store"
3) If #1 doesn't fix #3, then set gnome-do NOT to start at login, then paste this small script in your home folder and add it to the start up (session). (I called it docky.sh on my machine.) You can adjust the "sleep 6" to 8 or 10 or 4 or however many seconds works for you.

#!/bin/bash

sleep 6;
gnome-do

See if that helps.

Ok, thanks, but the bash script wasn't needed.

Solution #1 solved problem #3 automatically.

Thanks for the help. smile:)
